Walk the Labyrinth in Holy Week 

12- 9 PM THURSDAY, APR 17 | 9 AM – 9 PM FRIDAY, APR 18 | 9 AM – 12 PM SATURDAY, APR 19 IN FELLOWSHIP HALL

What is a labyrinth and how does one walk it?

A labyrinth is an ancient geometric pattern dating to at least 2,500 BCE. Labyrinths have been part of the Christian experience from as early as the 4th century. Perhaps the best known is in the Chartres Cathedral in France. A labyrinth is not a maze. A single path meanders to the center and brings the walker out again. There is no right or wrong way to walk. You may walk slowly and intentionally, or you may dance or skip! The only rule is courtesy for other walkers.

A few suggestions:
•    Please remove you shoes for the care of the labyrinth
•    Before you enter, take a moment to set an intention
•    Find your own speed
•    Pass or be passed by those you meet
•    Stop when you feel like stopping
•    Pay attention to your body
•    Pay attention to what you see, hear, feel

Allow at least half an hour for the experience. There will be informational materials available to give you guidelines, and there will often be hosts available, especially in the evening.

Walking a labyrinth is prayer in motion. It is a sacred journey. May it bless your walk through Holy Week.
